Abstract
Sera were collected from 12 Barbary sheep and 11 mule deer occupying sympatric ranges in Palo Duro Canyon, Texas. These were tested for leptospirosis, brucellosis, bovine virus diarrhea, anaplasmosis, vesicular stomatitis, blue-tongue (BT), epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD), infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) and coccidioidomycosis. Serologic reactors were found to IBR in 3 Barbary sheep, BT in 6 Barbary sheep and 6 mule deer, and EHD in 3 Barbary sheep and 4 mule deer. Possible ramifications of evidence for these diseases in wild herbivore populations in this area are discussed.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
